Not everyone stayed at the house but those of us that did enjoyed it. Do bring ear plugs if you’re a lite sleeper because the is a fair amount of street noise. We did a lot of cooking & dinning while there and the kitchen was extremely well stocked with all of our needs. Great location & enjoyed seeing the ocean from the living room. ##### Stig N.

Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### West H. 15 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Twin Lakes We had a wonderful stay at the Twin Lakes Beach House. The house was spacious, dog friendly and well furnished. It was not only just steps from the beach but was also in easy walking distance to a number of nice restaurants, coffee shops, etc. The garage included bikes, beach games and toys; so there was plenty to keep us occupied. There was a problem with the hot tub, but we were given plenty of notice about the situation before our arrival date and were provided the option of a discounted rate to compensate for the lack of the hot tub or another rental that had a hot tub. We elected to stay and they threw in a gift certificate for a restaurant at the harbor, which we thought was more than fair. ##### West H.

We like relaxing in the home when we take vacations. It was the best home we have stayed in ever. It was very spacious and comfortable. In addition, the private courtyard was an added bonus. The kids could be outside without us worrying about them. We are definitely returning here next summer. thanks Miguel ##### Miguel N. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg J. 7 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house We want to stay again soon ##### Greg J. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth P. 29 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach beauty The home was very clean with nice appointments, everything we needed and more.

The house has a a great open floor plan! With a beautiful master bedroom, hot tub on the upper deck with great ocean views. Walk to the Harbor, the beach, restaurants and more. We stayed here for the weekend with a family of five and it was perfect. Another plus was pets were allowed and the hard scaped yard was great for them to wander around in. I highly recommend this house ##### ALEJANDRA H. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 6 Jun 2016 #### Great beach house! Amazing location, spacious, with lots of parking. This house had everything you could need for an amazing vacation. There is plenty of space to accommodate a large group, it's walking distance to the beach and downtown, has plenty of off street parking, and the perfect courtyard for bbqing and sitting by the fire. There is excellent wifi and entertainment center, a large kitchen for cooking, and a spa on the back deck just outside one of the bedrooms. I couldn't have asked for a better location and home to stay in for the weekend. I'd highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a great vacation in Santa Cruz. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer C., Santa Cruz, CA 6 Jun 2016 #### Adorable beach house! A lot of amenities, spacious, parking, and extremely close to the beach! This house was absolutely charming! Extremely spacious and clean. WiFi is on the property. I loved the short walk to the beach and the harbor! The location is close to downtown, the boardwalk, and a lot of great restaurants. The neighborhood does require parking permits, but this house had plenty of off street parking! The courtyard was to die for! It blocked the coastal wind, so you could bbq, hand out, and relax in the yard while enjoying the sunshine! This is great for a family vacation, get together, or a romantic trip away. I recommend this rental and would definitely stay here again! Thank you for the great weekend! ##### Jennifer C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rene' V. 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Rene' V.
